@shavixmir saidJoe Biden opposed desegregation! You can either accept that obvious fact or not. Read this again....or for the first time. You might learn to accept these facts:
That sounds awfully like an interpretation to me.
Why would Biden oppose desegregation? I can imagine opposing busing (shouldn't that be two s's though... I dunno...) because it's a strange method which doesn't really tackle underlying issues. But I cannot fathom Biden being pro-segregation.
However, it was 50 years ago. Perhaps he did and has changed opinion since? You know, matured, gotten wiser, that sort of thing?
In 1975, Biden was representing a state where one of the first major urban school desegregation plans had been ordered by a court. Many white parents in the Wilmington area were angry. In response, Biden sponsored not just the bill limiting courts’ power but also an amendment to an appropriations bill that barred the federal government from withholding funding from schools that remained effectively segregated.
The amendment went beyond the busing issue, affecting school systems that effectively separated students by race whether or not they used busing. Co-sponsors included segregationist Sens. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., and Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. The amendment passed the Senate on a 50-43 vote, including majorities of both Democrats and Republicans. (Biden was not alone among northern Democrats who supported it — in that group, 14 supported the amendment and 26 opposed it, according to the Congressional Quarterly.)

The Senate voted 50 to 43 to attach an anti‐busing provision offered by Senator Joseph Biden, Democrat of Delaware, to a $36.2‐billion appropriations bill, after defeating a more sweeping version offered by Senator Jesse Helms, Republican of North Carolina.
The Senate voted 48 to 43 to table Helms amendment, which would have also prevented H.E.W. from keeping any “records, files, reports or statistics” needed to even identify segregated school systems.

Racial Jungle Joe didn't even want segregated schools to be able to be identified. What does that tell you?
@AverageJoe1 saidIt's hard to say. Biden was (and still is) first and foremost a politician, who holds his finger to the wind to see which way it's blowing. For him leadership means tell me where you want to go and I will lead you there. The guy is a willing puppet, who will parot anything the power behind the throne tells him to say.
@Wajoma
I’m a bit late to the fray. Are some here saying that Biden has never exhibited racism?
But at this point he is so far gone mentally and physically the puppeteers strings get hopelessly tangled up, and it's all his handlers can do to keep him from falling down and wandering off and sniffing hair and shaking invisible hands and, uh... well, you know the thing.

You've been telling this one for years now.
Stupid then, stupid now.
You are such a lazy debater.

Trump will not say it. On the news the other day they said Trump was going on the attack, yet no "Racial Jungle Joe" from his mouth or a campaign ad highlighting the quote where Biden said he didn't want his kids growing up in a racial jungle.

First they denied he said it. Then they denied he was a segregationist. Now they are attacking me because they know he was a segregationist. Next we win.

@shavixmir saidOkay, but why doesn't Trump call Biden Racial Jungle Joe?
One can oppose a method, but not the goal.
He is known for his name calling. Why does he avoid using that name?
He will call him crooked Joe, but not Racial Jungle Joe?
Do you think they have some sort of mutual agreement to not call each other out on their racist past?
209d
@Metal-Brain saidWell, that's just it, isn't it. If he tried falsely calling Joe a racist without a shred of evidence (like you do), everyone would realize that his own racism has a far longer track record.

Joe is not a segregationist. He was against bussing. The two are not the same thing no matter how much you need to make it so.
One might think you were paid to spew disinformation. I don't think so. I think you're just that dumb.

I am interested in what black people think of Racial Jungle Joe and I am sure not many black people know about it yet.
Trump could turn black people against Biden easily if he wanted to.
Why doesn't he want to?

You're an idiot, and there's no "there" there.
They're smarter than you, obviously.
Do you really think black people are dumber than you and Trump?
No way.
